Bloody Brain Hemorrhage
The Bloody Brain Hemorrhage is a grossly delicious mocktail that's perfect for a Halloween party. The secret to the "brain" effect is a shot of Baileys Irish Cream, which floats on top of the drink.
To make, mix together 1 oz of peach schnapps, 1 oz of cranberry juice, and 1 oz of orange juice. Pour the mixture into a shot glass and gently pour 1 oz of Baileys Irish Cream on top, allowing it to float on the surface. Garnish with a gummy brain or a plastic spider.
Frozen Ghost Pina Colada
This Frozen Ghost Pina Colada is a fun, frozen twist on the classic pina colada. The ghostly effect comes from using white rum extract instead of regular rum, which gives the drink a milky, ghostly appearance.
To make, blend 2 cups of ice, 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of cream of coconut, and 1/2 teaspoon of white rum extract until smooth. Pour the mixture into glasses and garnish with a plastic ghost or a maraschino cherry.
